Sierra Nevada Stout

Another one from the Sierra Nevada beya.

Pours moderately, quite a black hue but a bit light on the head, doesn't quite have the body of some more accomplished stouts. The aroma I felt was on the verge of something nice but at the same time had just that bit of nastiness lurking around the edges.

Taste-wise you get reasonably bitey stout flavours up first, front of the mouth is bitter with evident earthy green hops before a nice wave of milk chocolate washes in and sweeps you away to quite a pleasant conclusion.

This is not my favourite stout, it doesn't quite satisfy me with the mouthfeel or flavour profile, and the appearance isn't wonderful either. It is however a solid enough drop worth picking up if there's nothing else on offer. 6.0
